An example of "users want everything for free".

Codeberg has over 200k accounts and only 1.2k members, which, if we assume that the recommended membership fee is the average, works out to ~50k€ per year in membership dues.They’re begging for old hardware to run CI jobs, because they can’t just go out and buy a Mac Mini.
Please, folks, if you think a non-USA alternative to GitHub is important, and you have the disposable income: put your money forward.
Or, if you just want to donate once:

@glipari ah yes I had come across this post too. Quite indicative indeed.

Sorry, I am not pointing the finger at anybody. And you are right, in many specific cases there are many reasons for not paying.
However, by looking at the big picture, observing so many volunteer-based projects (e.g. mastodon servers) run by generous people who struggle to meet ends, i think that we have a general societal problem.
And I think this amounts to the general attitude, that has been built in people's mind in the last 20 years, that software applications and internet services are basically for free. And this is why we are in such a dire situation of monopoly on basic internet services.
It's just my point of view, of course, feel free to challenge it.

La parità di lavoro dovrebbe significare parità di retribuzione.
Il divario retributivo di genere è reale, con le donne nell'UE che guadagnano in media il 12% in meno all'ora rispetto agli uomini
